Thanks. I will try that. One question. Does this also apply to the sftp client, which also stopped downloading the file at 2G? It is the standard openssh suite that comes with SuSE.
I believe it is a problem with the browser. I have experience the same problem when attempting to download files larger than 2 gig. My workaround has been to use wget for http sourced files and ftp for ftp sourced files on SuSE 10, which works fine.

I never used a browser, which is why I didn't mention a browser -- the problem is the same whether from the command line or using a GUI. Corvin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Try using curl to fetch the file: curl ftp://.... >largefile If it fails with the same problem, the most probably it is a filesystem problem. It's unlikely different tools to have the same limitation, and if they have, then the only common thing between them is the filesystem. -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny)

Or that they both have the 2Gb file size limitation. It's perfectly possible for two different tools to have the same file size limitation. /Per Jessen, Zürich (-3.00 °C) -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution.

Sorry for the private post, reposting in the list: Wow, it's cold there :) Yes, you are right - it is possible, but very unlikely. I have installs of Suse from 9.0 to 10.0 here, and in all of them I have no problem with curl. wget, as shipped from with 9.0 and 9.1 had this bug, but it's fixed now. And azureus have never limited me to 2GB. As far as OP sees this problem using different tools, and as far as I have never saw this limitation while downloading (excl. wget), makes me to think that the problem is not in the tools, but somewhere else. -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny)
